Acid Alcohol
Details
Azer Scientific’s acid alcohol, added after carbol fuchsin, decolorizes non-acid fast bacteria, but not Mycobacteria. Mycobacteria remain red from the carbol fuchsin primary stain after destaining. Non-acid fast bacteria (or tissue) lose the primary stain during the destaining procedure and are counterstained blue by methylene blue.
Features:
- Added after carbol fuchsin, decolorizes non-acid fast bacteria
- Mycobacteria remain red from the carbol fuchsin after destaining
- Used in histology and cytology to remove excess stain and define nuclei following hematoxylin staining in the H&E and PAP methods
